Introduction: Limited information is available on developmental morphology of human fetal caecum. Embryologically, the caecal swelling appears as a small conical dilation of the caudal limb of primitive intestinal loop and it is the last part of the gut to return in the abdominal cavity. During rotation of gut it is located in the right upper quadrant below the right lobe of the liver. From here it descends into the right iliac fossa. The present study aims to locate the position and shape of caecum at different gestational ages of fetuses.
Background: The aim of present study is to evaluate the pattern of occurrence of Brocq and Mouchet's arterio-venous triangle in human cadavers. Methods: The present study was carried out in the Department of Anatomy at SRMS IMS, Bareilly from 2012-2014. Thirty human cadavers of both sexes fixed in 10 % formalin were dissected to observe the triangle of Brocq and Mouchet. Results: The triangle was closed in 17 cadaveric hearts (56.66%). The triangle was opened in 13 cadaveric hearts (43.33%).It was opened inferiorly & superiorly in 5 cadaveric hearts (16.66%) each. The triangle was opened completely in rest of 3 cadaveric hearts (10%). Conclusions: The triangle of Brocq and Mouchet is commonly used when performing an intravascular ultrasound of coronary arteries to help in identifying pericardium, myocardium and vessels in the neighborhood.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
